Ronald Reagan at 100: A Mentor for Young Conservatives
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyHang out with some young conservatives and it won't be long before you find them talking about Ronald Reagan.

Reagan was popular with younger voters when he was president, which made sense. He was the aspirational candidate with big dreams who ran against a Democratic president who complained about "a crisis of confidence" and "a growing doubt" among the American people. So, it was easy for young ...
Opinion: The Genius of Ronald Reagan's Humor
By not in system - AOL NewsHard work never killed anyone, Ronald Reagan used to say, but why take the chance? Reagan was often accused by critics of not working very hard, and he responded with this characteristic jibe. We now know that the critics were wrong about his work ethic.

But more than gratitude drew us to them. We were drawn to them because they were among the few prominent Americans who didn't subscribe to the then ...

Son Says Reagan Would See Today's GOP as 'Mean-Spirited and Stupid'
By Andrea Stone - AOL NewsWASHINGTON -- If President Ronald Reagan were alive to celebrate his 100th birthday this week, "he would be disturbed by the level of vitriol" coming from his own Republican party.
